Cornish Cross with Coturnix???

Chicken's carry diseases that don't hurt them but can kill quail. This comes up now and then on the quail threads and it's all most always discouraged.

Oh okay thank you. Ive heard of a few things before and will be sure to research it before I make any decisions.

There are some structural things like 5-6 feet of the ground in some places. Is it a problem if there are roosting bars or do I need to do something to make sure they don't use them?

Cornish Cross have two problems with roosting bars:
1) they get so heavy they cannot fly up to the roosting bars
2) if they do get up, they can hurt themselves when they come down

At that height, your Cornish Cross will probably never get up on those bars. And if they never get up there, they never need to get back down, so that's not a danger either. I think it should be fine to leave those structural things where they are.
